Lactarius furcatus Coker 1918

Multifurca furcata is a rare mushroom-forming fungus in the genus Multifurca. It was originally described as a Lactarius species in 1918[2] and was moved to the new genus Multifurca in 2008.[3] With the genus Lactarius it shares the exudation of milk-like latex; however, it is microscopically and molecularly distinct.[3] It has been found very infrequently, with currently known localities in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, and China.[3][4][5]
